James Cameron Teaming With Cirque du Soleil for Live 'Avatar' Tour
BREAKING: How invested is James Cameron in the blue people that populate his Avatar world? Cameron, who’s readying a trio of 3D-shot sequels to Hollywood’s all time highest grossing film, has announced that he will team with Cirque du Soleil to develop an arena-tour show that is inspired by the film. The show will debut in late 2015. He announced it alongside Cirque du Soleil president/CEO Daniel Lamarre at the C2MTL-Commerce and Creativity Conference.
The timing means the show will debut before the three sequels which, like the original, is financed and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox. Cameron previously worked with with Cirque du Soleil as exec producer of the Andrew Adamson-directed 3D film Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away.
